He has been quite a main stay in the excelsior district. He passed away at the ripe age of 97 last tuesday surrounded by his children in the home where he was born and raised. John was known as mr. Excelsior because of his dedication to the community. He helped to revitalize the excelsior District Improvement association, the edia. In 1959. And to this day the edia holds its monthly meeting in the spacious basement of his home on santa rosa avenue. John continued to remain active as the sergeant of arms and led the pledge of allegiance before each meeting. As a former president of the edia, one of his proudest accomplishment was to safe 88 homes from the demolition for a parking lot. John organized a petition drive and delivered 8,000 signatures to city hall to successfully stop the demolition. I cant imagine that happening now, what an incredible feat that would be. John was a very active member of Corpus Christi church which is right across the street from his home in the excelsior.

Me questions about, you know, what happens when there are vacancies, including vacancies on those board of supervisors and consistent with the statements that i have made, i believe that it makes sense that when there is such a vacancy on this board or any other office, that it is up to should be up to the electorate to the voters of San Francisco to decide who fills oyez vacancies. In the past we have seen a power struggle between the board of supervisors and the mayor which is one of the reasons i really appreciate the way that supervisor avalos has approached this because instead of actually trying to engage a power struggle or a tug of war between the board and the mayor, i think that this takes it out of that and brings it back to the voters. I think that makes a great deal of sense, letting the voters decide. I also think the study that was done by the lafco on this piece on this issue is very informative because it actually shows that San Francisco is the exception, not the norm
